Now, I am not trying to say whether the Investors Club is good or bad. But here is my experience. I have bought a property through the Investors Club. I did a LOT of research, read a lot of books (including Jans), did a lot of surfing of Internet sites before even thinking of an IP purchase. I found dirt and good things regarding the Club. Before I bought my IP I rang local agents who also had the same properties for sale. I got reports from "Home Price Guide" and "Property Value". Local Agents were selling the same properties for around $13,000 more. The rent is coming in, it is cash flow positive. I really don't care how much the Investors Club are making out of a deal. I have no affiliation with them other than buying a property through them, and I feel I got a good deal, and that is all I care about! That's my two cents worth!
